Properties for sale in Torremolinos

Living in Torremolinos

Torremolinos is enjoying a renaissance: the destination that invented Costa del Sol tourism in the 1960s is being revamped with new hotels, a remodelled seafront promenade and one of the liveliest food and LGBTI+ scenes in Andalucía. La Carihuela keeps the soul of a fishermen's quarter, with the best espetos (sardines grilled on skewers) in the area; El Bajondillo and Playamar offer beachfront living, and Montemar quiet residential areas.

Its great asset is its location: the airport is less than 10 minutes away and Málaga city 15, with a Cercanías commuter train every 20 minutes, which makes it the best-connected beach destination in Spain.

Buying property in Torremolinos

Torremolinos offers the most competitive price per square metre for frontline property on the central stretch of the Costa del Sol, with apartments from the 1970s to the 1990s with great renovation potential and new-build developments that are starting to regain prominence. For rental investment – holiday rentals or lets to people working at the airport and in Málaga – the price-to-demand ratio is one of the best. At EVS PROPERTY GROUP we help you spot well-maintained buildings and financially sound comunidades (communities of owners).

Frequently asked questions about Torremolinos

Which area of Torremolinos is best for buying property?

La Carihuela for a neighbourhood feel by the sea; El Bajondillo and Playamar for frontline living on the promenade; Montemar and El Pinillo for quiet residential living; and the town centre for those who prioritise shops and the train.

Is it worth buying a property to renovate in Torremolinos?

Often, yes: much of the housing stock dates from the 1970s to the 1990s, with prices below those of neighbouring municipalities, and a full renovation adds value to the apartment for both renting out and resale. It is essential to check the condition of the building and the comunidad (community of owners).

How good are the connections to the airport and Málaga?

Unbeatable: less than 10 minutes by car to the airport and around 15–20 to central Málaga, with a Cercanías commuter train every 20 minutes. That is why annual rentals work very well, as well as holiday rentals.

Are holiday rentals worthwhile in Torremolinos?

It is one of the least seasonal destinations on the coast: on top of beach tourism there are conferences, LGBTI visitors and winter visitors, so occupancy is spread more evenly through the year than in other municipalities. You will need to register the property in the Andalusian register and the national single register (registro único), and it is wise to check that the comunidad (community of owners) has not restricted the activity, which has been possible since 2025.

Is Torremolinos a good place to retire or spend the winters?

Very well suited. It is a real town, with shops, healthcare and leisure open twelve months a year, a long-established international community and one of the mildest climates in Europe. La Carihuela and El Bajondillo offer life on the flat along the seafront promenade, ideal for walking every day, and the Cercanías commuter train gets you to the airport or the centre of Málaga in about twenty minutes, without depending on a car.
